Lisa Squire

Mt Hobson Academy Principal

Lisa completed  her training at Christchurch Teachers College where she spent 12 years before moving into a technology facilitation role with Time Education Consultancy. She then stepped into school leadership as Deputy Principal at Linwood North Primary School.

For the past 13 years, Lisa has been immersed in innovative educational design. As Foundation Deputy Principal at Hobsonville Point Primary School in Auckland, she helped build a school from the ground up and contributed as a member of the Hobsonville Point Schools Board of Trustees. During this time, she also worked in teacher training as an Education Lecturer with AUT.

Lisa holds a Counselling Certificate and an English Language Certificate, and recently completed her Post Graduate Diploma in Digital and Collaborative Learning through MindLab.

Lisa believes that true confidence comes from children understanding their unique value, experiencing academic success, and building self efficacy, not despite their wellbeing, but because of it.
